Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Monsters? Mankind?
Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Monsters? Mankind?
Xiaolong quickly flipped the body of the black-robed man lying on the ground, and grabbed the sniper rifle that he had dreamed of with a few visual impacts, and was about to take it off the black-robed man......
It was at this time that ......
"Boom la la ......"
The black robe worn by the black-robed man, the fabric was very thick, and because it had been left outside all night, it had been covered with frost and had become hard, and suddenly slipped off the man's corpse......
For the first time, the true appearance of the black-robed man was truly exposed to Xiaolong's sight......
It's a matter of habit......
While taking the gun, Xiaolong subconsciously glanced at the black-robed man in front of him......
However......
In the next second, Xiaolong's eyes widened violently, and his face was full of horror......
What Xiaolong definitely didn't expect was that it was originally just an extremely casual move of his own, but what he saw was a scene that he might not forget for the rest of his life......
He actually found out......
This black-robed man, the corpse wrapped under the thick black robe, is actually not a human being!!
……………………
Xiao Tian and Ah Lian, who are doing nothing to enjoy the cold air in the air, will also be in a small area from time to time, jumping and moving, because they maintain the same posture at night, and look a little sore......
In the beginning......
The two of them didn't pay attention to Xiaolong's actions at all......
Until......
"Ahh
Xiao Tian, who was moving his body, suddenly heard an exclamation from Xiaolong......
Due to each other. It's been working together long enough, plus there are so many intrigues and dirty things between the survivors who aren't adults. The intimacy between the three people can be said to be seamless, and the cooperation has become extremely tacit because of this......
It's not ......
As soon as they heard Xiaolong's voice, Xiaotian and Ah Lian were already confirmed in their hearts that this was Xiaolong's voice......
Subsequently. The faces of the two changed, no matter what they were doing before, they all made the same move. Shuangshuang took out the weapons he was carrying, and rushed in the direction where the little dragon was at his fastest speed......
And in the process......
The two also exchanged glances, to each other. Keep enough distance......
So ......
No matter what situation Xiaolong encounters. The two of them also had enough time to respond accordingly......
………………
In the beginning......
After hearing Xiaolong's exclamation, Xiaotian and Ah Lian subconsciously thought that Xiaolong was very likely to be attacked by some snake, insect, rat and ant......
Accidentally injured......
Of course......
The reason why the two of them made this judgment naturally has its reasons......
After all......
At the moment when they first came out, the two of them. However, they all carefully observed the surroundings, and confirmed that there were no signs of mutant biological activity in the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, they began to move their bodies......
It's ......
After hearing Xiaolong's exclamation, Xiao Tian and Ah Lian subconsciously ignored the attack of the mutant creatures......
But it's poisonous insects and the like......
Due to their small size, like them, they can't find it at all just by observing it a little, so the chance of Xiaolong being inadvertently bitten by a poisonous insect is naturally much greater......
And those corpses ......
After those black-robed people last night, Xiaolong and Ah Lian didn't think about it at all......
…………
However......
In this world, some things are often so wonderful......
What you thought was the least likely thing to happen happened in the end......
For example, this time......
Originally, in Xiaotian and Ah Lian's opinion, there would be absolutely no problem with these corpses on the ground......
But they ignored the black-robed man......
And in fact......
They soon saw that the little dragon at this moment, as if he had bumped into a ghost in broad daylight, was staring at the body of the black-robed man on the ground with a look of horror......
Even......
Due to the intense mood swings, the large-caliber sniper rifle, which had always been regarded as a treasure by Xiaolong, was casually thrown aside by Xiaolong at this moment......
See this scene......
Xiaotian and Ah Lian breathed a sigh of relief......
For the time being, they didn't know what the little dragon saw, but one thing was certain......
That's why Xiaolong exclaimed, it definitely wouldn't be because he was in any danger!
And with the way he is at the moment......
Most likely, I saw something incredible......
………………
The truth is just as Xiao Tian and Ah Lian expected......
"Boss ......"
With a cautious attitude, in the process of approaching, Xiaotian called Xiaolong softly......
Merely......
At this moment, Xiaolong was obviously frightened by what he saw, and he didn't realize that Xiaotian was calling him......
Looked at......
Xiao Tian shot a snake at Ah Lian, and seeing Xiao Tian's move, Ah Lian, who was on the other side, immediately stopped moving forward with a sense of urgency, but stopped temporarily......
Keep enough distance and stand on the spot......
And Xiao Tian has already skillfully taken out an extremely sharp dagger from the simple leather bag that he didn't know what kind of leather he made from the one pinned to his waist......
The whole dagger is unusually sharp, and on the blade of the dagger, there is even a faint trace of dark green luster......
Apparently......
This dagger was fed with poison......
Because of their own limited strength, Xiaolong, Xiaotian and Ah Lian are three. But they used all the methods they could think of and could do to improve their strength......
And with poison. That's what they do best!!
After all......
In today's nature, in this uninhabited desert, there is no shortage of all kinds of mutated creatures and poisonous insects that contain highly poisonous......
………………
This time, Xiao Tian was not trying to wake up Xiao Long......
Instead, he sneaked up to the dragon's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder......
"Boss ......"
"Ahh
This time, Xiaolong finally reacted. As if he had been electrocuted, his whole body trembled violently, and he subconsciously looked at Xiaotian. His eyes were full of horror and bewilderment......
Apparently taken aback!!
Until I saw that it was a small day......
Xiaolong's situation was only slightly better, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief......
Merely......
Xiao Tian carefully noticed that Xiao Long's eyes at the moment. Let it be with a hint of palpitations......
"Boss. What's wrong? ”
Xiao Tian looked at Xiaolong with concern and asked, "You're not injured, are you?" ”
Xiaolong shook his head again and again......
"Nope! There is no ......"
"Then you ......"
Xiao Tian stared at Xiaolong intently, his face full of suspicion......
After just a little pondering, he knew what Xiao Tian was referring to, and immediately smiled, and pointed to the body of the black-robed man on the ground......
"You can see for yourself......"
Hearing the words......
Xiao Tian, who had already aroused his curiosity, hurriedly looked in the direction that Xiaolong was pointing......
And then......
Xiao Tian's eyes were also round, and the whole person's situation. It's not much better than Xiaolong's situation before......
What has the entire black-robed man become?
………………
What catches your eye. Not a human corpse at all......
It's not even the dark chasers, blood clans, and demons that Xiaolong, Xiaotian, and Ah Lian encounter on weekdays......
Maybe......
It is most appropriate to use the word monster to describe the corpse of the "black-robed man" in front of him!!
That's right......
What appeared in Xiao Tian's field of vision was a monster that remained largely in human form......
Nearly two meters tall......
The face is hideous, the nostrils and mouth are unusually large, a bunch of sharp fangs, and even more directly out of the lips, the moment he saw this face, Xiao Tian's first thought was actually a creature called orcs that appeared in a game......
However......
The monster's body was hairless, but its entire body, including its head and face, was covered with dark green snake-like scales that shimmered with a metallic luster......
It's dense and makes people shudder......
In some special locations such as forearms, knees, shoulders, and outer thighs, you can even see sharp bone spurs the size of thumbs and inches long......
And these bone spurs make this monster look even more hideous......
Of course......
The most special thing is the monster's soft hanging side, covered with dark green scale armor, but at the tip, there are two sharp spikes......
The moment he saw this tail, the first thing Xiao Tian thought of was the tail of the lizard, but when he looked at it again, it was definitely a little similar to the tail of the blood scorpion he saw not long ago!!
"This ......"
Seeing this monster in front of him, people don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts, Xiao Tian was also completely shocked......
In his poor knowledge and poor imagination, he really couldn't imagine what this monster in front of him was......
Especially this moment......
Xiao Tian also thought that last night, this kind of monster that appeared was not one, but a group, and the number was almost a hundred......
What does this mean?
In addition to the representatives, there are a lot of monsters in front of them, and they are also social creatures......
What's more important is to show that the monster in front of you is a kind of creature with a lot of intelligence......
At least......
From the current situation, Xiao Tian can already determine that these monsters are not only a hierarchical race, but also capable of using human thermal weapons such as sniper rifles......
Just these two points, the wisdom of this monster. It is already far beyond the known blood clan and demon clan at this time!
Forehead!
As for the Darkchaser, it was completely at the mercy of instinct. Compared to this kind of monster, there is no comparison at all......
………………
In the time that followed......
Ah Lian also saw this monster!
The little girl's reaction was no better than that of Xiaotian and Xiaolong, and even worse than the two of them......
Time......
No one spoke at the scene......
Just let time pass slowly in this silent process......
Until......
The red sun on the horizon was finally reluctant. Behind the thin clouds, he revealed his true face, and there will be thousands of ways. The blood-colored brilliance like a sharp sword pierced through the clouds and began to slowly clear the frost from the earth......
Xiaolong, Xiaotian, and Ah Lian, this is because the sun is too dazzling. from their own thoughts. Come back to your senses......
The three of them glanced at each other......
I don't know if there is really such a thing as "heart and soul" in this world, when looking at Xiaolong, Xiaotian and Ah Lian actually said in unison: "Is this guy human?" ”
That's right......
Until this moment, the two of them, Xiaotian and Ah Lian, could not confirm this black-robed man. Is it a human, or something else......
However. They didn't want to think about it......
The three of them have always been together, and the information they have come into contact with is almost the same......
Since they couldn't even figure it out by themselves, how could Xiaolong possibly know!
Shake your head......
Xiaolong hesitated: "People? I guess so!! ”
Having said that, no matter how you listened to it, there was a lack of confidence in Xiaolong's tone, and it was obvious that even he couldn't convince himself of the answer he gave......
………………
However, since Xiaolong can be the eldest of the three, he will naturally have a little bit, and in other aspects, he will naturally have some advantages that Xiaotian and Ah Lian can't match!
Otherwise......
With the fact that the three of them are the same age, there is almost no difference, Xiaolong can't make Xiaotian and Ah Lian convince him at all!
And among them, the most prominent point is that Xiaolong's ability to control his emotions is very strong!!
It's not ......
After realizing that the sun had come out, the little dragon, who felt a trace of insignificant warmth, already knew that the best time of the day to move outside would soon come......
Forehead!
What time period is best for human activity?
Isn't this nonsense!!
The best time for human activities is naturally the early hours of the morning......
Unlike in the evening, when the sun sets, the atmosphere in the desert drops suddenly at a speed that can be felt by human skin, and during the time when the sun is just coming out......
The rate at which the temperature rises is extremely slow!
From minus a few dozen degrees Celsius to the normal temperature of the day, forty or fifty degrees Celsius, the process takes about two hours......
In a nutshell......
During these two hours, the temperature has been slowly warming, and there is a considerable period of time in between, which is very suitable for human activities......
Of course......
The temperature is actually secondary!
More importantly, because this time period is located at the junction of night and day, at this time, all kinds of predators who come out to hunt at night begin to return to their nests and begin to rest......
And the predators who come out to hunt for food during the day will not run out so early......
To a certain extent, in the early hours of the morning, the entire desert is almost in a vacuum, and there are very few mutated creatures who choose to come out to hunt for food during this time period......
This is obviously good news for the survivors!
………………
Feeling the blood-red sunlight, that trace of perhaps insignificant warmth, the little dragon shook his head, and his thoughts quickly recovered from the corpse in front of him, which he didn't know if it was a human or a monster......
The whole person quickly returned to his usual calm......
"Okay......"
"Don't be in a daze, whether it's a monster or a human, hurry up and pack up what we can use on it......"
Speaking of which......
Xiaolong couldn't wait to catch that one, because he was too shocked before. A large-caliber sniper rifle that was inadvertently thrown aside by himself......
He reminded me like this......
Xiaotian and Ah Lian, as if they had just discovered that this black-robed man was on him. It turned out to be like a treasure trove......
"Wow ......"
When he saw the pistol on the outside of the black-robed man's thigh, he had already shouted happily, as if he had seen a beautiful woman, and pounced on it......
As for Ah Lian......
Don't look at the quiet look, it looks very ladylike......
But in fact, when she saw the body of the black-robed man, the black robe made of fine fabric. And those few protective gear and other things, their eyes have already lit up......
As if he saw some treasure, he pounced on it. Very rudely, he began to clean the black-robed man's body, even a small bracer, and even a weekday. Almost negligible laces. Ah Lian didn't let it go......
didn't care at all, not long ago, he was still shocked by the corpse in front of him......
Some are just excited and excited......
That madness, that level of attachment......
Even if Xiaotian and Xiaolong see it, they can only be ashamed of themselves!!
Sigh......
Sure enough, it's a woman who is back in charge of the house!!
What the?
These are the corpses of dead people? Shouldn't it?!
Are you kidding......
Here, ordinary survivors don't even have a single piece of clothing to wear, and often have to scrap clumps of cotton wool. Tied to oneself and used to keep warm in a harsh environment......
Encounter a human corpse that has not been scraped away. That's a jackpot hit......
Not only will they take all the items on the corpse for their own use!
When encountering some people who are not very particular, or who are really hungry and can't stand it, they will even simply use the flesh of this corpse to satisfy their hunger......
It's incredible for others......
As a matter of fact......
In the last days, especially in this desert where food is so scarce, things like this are all too common!!
………………
But five minutes......
Before, the whole body was wrapped under the thick black robe, and the body of the black-robed man with a large amount of materials and equipment was collected by the three of Xiaolong......
Forehead!!
Don't think it's an exaggeration!
In fact, in addition to the black-robed man, the black robe on his body had already been taken off by Ah Lian at the first time, and even the underwear on the black-robed man was taken off by Xiaotian......
In the process......
Xiao Tian and Xiao Long even observed with great interest the (life) (breeding) (device) of this monster, hoping to judge the true identity of this monster through this thing......
It's a pity......
Their efforts did not yield any results, and they were also met with a blank eye from Ah Lian!!
Wait until you've made sure nothing is missing......
Looking at the list of items that Ah Lian sorted out, Xiaolong laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth......
Forehead!
There are really a lot of things!!
The fabric of a robe can be used to make three sets of clothes, just one set per person, two cold weapons, and the quality is one grade higher than that of Xiaotian and Xiaolong, and the daggers used now are a grade higher......
In addition, there are two pistols and one sniper rifle......
There are also grenades, bullets and other small things......
These things add up, and they are almost comparable, and the three of them have a total harvest of a week......
The only pity is ......
None of the three of them could collect food from the body of the black-robed man......
However, as long as they thought of the scene that this group of black-robed people showed when they saw the corpses of those mutated creatures last night, Xiaolong, Xiaotian and Ah Lian felt that there was nothing strange about not finding food from them!
After all......
These people themselves are already hungry enough to drink blood, how can there be food left......
…………
Wait until it's all done......
The sun had fully risen, and the blood-red rays, through the thin clouds, shone on the three of them, as well as on the corpse on the ground......
"Hurry up, everyone, ......"
"It's time for us to go!!"
Xiaolong reminded......
The three of them immediately packed their bags, intending to leave this place that would leave a permanent mark on their memories......
However......
Just when the three of them were ready to leave......
"Huh......"
Xiaolong inadvertently glanced at it, and not far away, the corpse that had been scraped by the three of his own......
Then it was as if something had been discovered......
He looked carefully at the corpse again......
What's going on?
Originally......
Just now, when the little dragon glanced at it casually, it seemed to feel itself, and suddenly saw the corpse move......
This discovery immediately made Xiaolong nervous......
You must know that the strength of that black-robed man, they don't need to see it with their own eyes, they can predict that the strength of this black-robed man must be very good......
If it does wake up......
It doesn't matter if he's one of the survivors with the kind of special mutant who has changed his body, or if he's really some unknown monster......
Absolutely not, the three of you, the one who will take it off!
If that's the case......
I can't say, the three of them are about to start a new round of escape!!
Can be ...... immediately
After taking a closer look at the corpse, the little dragon made a new discovery......
The "corpse" on the ground not only moved, but also its appearance, as if it had changed, even the tail, Xiaolong noticed it, and he didn't know when it disappeared......
